In rehab there was a guy, a chef, whose shakes were so bad he couldn't even walk during his withdrawal. He showed up in a wheelchair and was a wreck for the first week. Everyone rejoiced for him when we saw him striding relaxed a few days later. It was a powerful thing to witness.

@Fredrick Frederickson I see what you're saying, but it typically is not a great idea to tell employers you're having issues with alcohol, pretty much ever. The reason is, there's a huge stigma about it in most of society, where it's considered a moral failing, rather than the disease it actually is - and regardless, employers will think about the reliability of that employee, even if they do actually get help and get sober. I've known people who've actually admitting to having a problem to their boss or whoever, only for them to say they understood and whatever, then slowly phase them out of work or fire them a few weeks later for some reason they basically just made up.

Sounds like you need a drink

It's an absolute nightmare to experience this. Crawling out your own skin, in line at a bank or check cashing place, hoping to God your bogus check gets cashed. For you can't endure another second of withdrawal

Reminds me of how the liquor store i went to every day required customers to sign their recipts for some reason. That was a constant source of humiliation for me and probably others.

I got alcohol tremors so bad I can't even sign a check.... 😎🤭

*I'm pretty sure that bank scene is the only one in the whole movie you see him speaking when he's sober?*

Mmm never noticed that … good call

Man I remembered my days lol

This was one of the most depressing movies I’ve ever watched. Sad

Notice how nobody in the film enabled this guy. He did this all on his own terms. Except for that free drink.

I'm fkin horrified by the bank scene... it's so accurate. Even the way he grasps himself.

After watching this film. I needed a strong drink.

Brilliant film. N.C. without doubt - a most talented actor. Or was he not acting?

I go to Vegas 4 times a year… I’m very unhappy with how my life turned out. It’s the perfect place to be in a busy place and be completely invisible

Typical night out in Yorkshire 😅😅😅

I can drink but choose no to, I have drank in the past but the hungover is terrible. I can’t for one second imagine what real alcoholics go through. So sorry for their illness.
